President Tom Rochon seeks nominations of self or others to serve on the President’s Advisory Council for Diversity (PAC-D). This 16-person committee, composed of faculty and staff, will have five vacancies as a result of terms ending May 31, 2010.
Under the chairmanship of Dr. Roger Richardson, the PAC-D is charged with monitoring and ensuring that Ithaca College continues to make progress toward achieving its diversity goals. With the anticipated adoption of a new strategic plan for diversity effective in the fall 2010, the work of the PAC-D in monitoring our effectiveness in reaching these goals becomes more important than ever. In addition, the PAC-D serves as a resource to campus committees, groups and offices advising on how to ensure comprehensive and coordinated delivery of diversity programming, educational experiences and services. Specifically, the PAC-D advises the president and the vice presidents on means of achieving the diversity goals that these officers adopt on an annual basis. The PAC-D also investigates best practices and makes recommendations that enable the college to fulfill its mission of being an excellent and diverse educational community. The committee advises and reports directly to the president.
The PAC-D seeks individuals whose vision, creativity, and enthusiasm for the future of Ithaca College will enable them to contribute to fresh thinking on how we can achieve our diversity objectives. We seek individuals who can be effective and respectful members of a team of advisers to the president.
Nominations of self or of others are welcomed. There is no specific form for nomination and a submission need not be lengthy. However, whether you are nominating yourself or someone else, it would be helpful to offer the clearest possible indication of why you think your nominee embodies the traits described above. The deadline for nominations of self or others is Friday, April 16. Please send nominations to president@ithaca.edu, with “Nomination for PAC-D” in the subject line.
